Novak Djokovic has opened as a slight favorite in his semifinal match against Tomas Berdych.

Novak Djokovic and Tomas Berdych will go head to head in the semifinals of Wimbledon 2010 and one of them will go through to the final.  Prior to Wimbledon starting this year Berdych was 66 to 1 to win the title outright while Djokovic could have been found as long as 39 to 1 although he was generally shorter - two prices that were tipped as valuable here.

Roger Federer was terribly overrated and his backers juiced the market up for a potential longshot to cash in.  If you have either Djokovic or Berdych at long odds to win this tournament then you may be able to back their competitors now to guarantee profits if you want, something a lot of experienced punters do if the situation calls for it.

Djokovic has opened as the favorite to defeat Berdych in most markets.  The best odds on Djokovic are with Bwin who have the Serbian at -111 (10/11) although that specific site has priced Berdych as the favorite at -125 (4/5).

Berdych has opened at EVEN odds with some sites, including Ladbrokes.

Head to head Djokovic is undefeated against Berdych and this is their series history (stats from bet365):

March 31st, 2009; Miami R16  Hardcourt outdoor; Djokovic, Novak wins
3:6 2:6 

September 27th, 2008 Bangkok Semifinals  Hardcourt indoor; Djokovic, Novak wins   5:7 1:6

Berdych has not taken a set off of Djokovic in 2 previous matches however the Czech star is playing his best tennis now.  Djokovic is certainly a formidable opponent but there isn't that much that can be said about his draw as it only included Lleyton Hewitt as a serious threat.

Berdych showed poise under pressure in the quarterfinals and while I didn't like him for the finals pre-tournament that was before Andy Roddick's upset loss in the 4th round thinned the grass court talent out on that half of the draw.  If Berdych were to lose before the final, it probably would have been to Federer on Wednesday as Fed did make Berdych earn it late in the 4th set.

True odds: Berdych -160 vs Djokovic +160.

Betting odds on Berdych of EVEN odds are good to go in this match and may shorten as betting trends pick up over the next couple of days.
